San Francisco gives JROTC the boot
The San Francisco Board of Education just voted to abolish the JROTC program from district schools. The clearly anti-military City by the Bay now owns the dubious distinction as being the first district to pull such a stunt.GOP and College puts things into perspective...
| The anti military fringe in San Francisco is honestly just that. The members of their Board of Supervisors agree that the country would be far better off if it were a defenseless country, banking on the "good wills" of tyrants around the world. |
In the short time my wife and I have lived in the Bay Area, I can honestly say this is the most disgusted I have been with the nut job anti-military mentality of these idiots living out here. It is safe to say the leadership of San Francisco has officially lost it's mind.
They would rather kowtow to the Islamic-radicals of the world than invest in the protection of our country and freedoms. What's even more amazing is their blind stupidity to the unparallel benefits of the JROTC program...not only to the students, but to the graduation rates of the very schools they wish to ban it from.
You see in San Francisco, everything is political. The Board of Education would rather make some futile point about "don't ask, don't tell" than offer their students a program of honor, leadership and education. But just like their Board of Supervisor brethren who are clueless to the point of not knowing the Coast Guard is a division of the military, the SFUSD is now clueless to what real leadership and education is all about.
At least SF Mayor Gavin Newsom supports the JROTC.
Anyhow, since I was in a good mood before this ruling was announced, I'll cut my rant short. But I'll list the contact info for the SF Board of Education members. I'll send them a nice note tomorrow telling them how much I appreciate their love of the military that protects their city. Maybe you all can do the same.
